Portable spectrophotometer
08 April, 2009 byThe HunterLab MiniScan EZ is an easy-to-use, portable, handheld colour measurement dual-beam diode-array spectrophotometer that is suitable for use on the factory floor, on the production line, in the warehouse or outdoors, eliminating the need to take samples back to the laboratory.
Light-scattering protein analysis
06 April, 2009 byThe DynaPro NanoStar from Wyatt Technology is a dynamic light-scattering instrument that is used for the analysis of protein solutions, promiscuous inhibitors, buffers or other products in solution.
Polarised FTIR measurements
01 January, 2009PerkinElmer has released a Universal Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) polarisation accessory, designed to offer users the benefits of combining infrared spectroscopy with a polariser. Polarised measurements provide additional information on the molecular structure of a sample, particularly the crystal or molecular orientation, and help in the accurate characterisation of materials.
Automated force spectroscopy
01 January, 2009JPK Instruments has released its ForceRobot system to automate force spectroscopy.
UV/vis spectrophotometers
01 January, 2009The PG Instruments range of spectrophotometers includes the T80 double beam series and the T70 split beam series, both of which are available in either a fixed bandwidth model or a variable bandwidth model.
FTIR/FTFIR spectrometer
01 January, 2009The Spectrum 400 FTIR/FTFIR is a dual-range spectrometer that combines mid-infrared (IR) and far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopy in a single instrument. With automatic beamsplitter changeover, it offers flexible performance for advanced research and industrial laboratories.
Aerosol backscatter analysis
01 December, 2008The Aurora nephelometer is designed for use in backscatter global warming studies. It allows the analysis of aerosols by measuring their backscattering effect on light.
ICP-OES spectrophotometers
01 July, 2008PerkinElmer has announced the Optima 7000 series of inductively coupled plasma-optical emissions spectrophotometers (ICP-OES). The family is designed for best-in-class inorganic analysis and is used in a variety of markets, including environmental, geochemical, product testing and biofuels.
Microplate spectrophotometer
01 July, 2008The PowerWave microplate spectrophotometers combine a monochromator-based optical system with hardware and software features designed to meet a variety of microplate-based applications. The readers allow the user to either scan across selected wavelengths or select a discrete wavelength (in 1 nm increments) across the UV-Vis range.
Dual-beam UV/vis spectophotometer
01 July, 2008The T60 New Century is a dual-beam UV/vis spectrophotometer with a fixed slit of 2 nm and a wavelength range of 190-1100 nm.
100 million X-rays in one
25 June, 2008Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have devised a 'next generation' X-ray light source — the free electron laser oscillator (X-FELO) — that is many times brighter than current X-ray technologies.
Double-beam UV/vis spectrophotometer
08 April, 2008The Scinco SD-1000 UV/vis spectrophotometer combines the features of a Windows PC with those of a double-beam scanning UV/vis spectrophotometer
High-definition MS system
06 March, 2008As a tool, conventional mass spectrometry is a good method for differentiating between proteins with different masses. However, as different folded forms of a particular protein have identical masses, it is virtually impossible to differentiate them by conventional means. That's where the Waters Synapt HDMS system and its embedded ion mobility technology can help.
A new direction for gas spectroscopy
15 January, 2008Physicists at NIST-Boulder have carried out a powerful new spectroscopic study of a gas sample using optical frequency combs.
T-rays searching for disease or bombs
04 July, 2007Scientists have made a development that could improve the detecting and sensing of objects ranging from biological cell abnormalities to explosives.
